Centennial of Canadian Confederation
To commemorate the centennial of Canadian Confederation in 1967, the Commission erected a fountain on the land formerly occupied by the Quebec City Observatory (1864-1936) in October 1967.
It has two basins, one measuring twelve metres in diameter, with seven waterspouts shooting as high as nine metres in the air.
In 2017, the fountain is restored and lighted to highlight the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
